Item 1: your main threat is status effects. Give EVERYONE the mental conditioning tag. Add that to the adamatine armor and you shouldn't have much trouble with status effects.

Item 2: the tag that gives Health steal will help a lot.

Item 3: giving Sakura multiple types of stat boosts then using Cha! Combo can do as much as 1000 damage. Fortunately the Cha! Combo gives the Inner Sakura state that you need. Having Tenten use All Weapons beneath Heaven is a good way to give the attack boost, and it pumps the others too.

Item 4: Don't go overboard with status skills. The beast has some technique for dissipating them.

item 5: My team was Sakura, Tenten, Choji, and Lee, with Lee as leader.

Item 6: Formations. It's not strong enough to seriously hurt you, so you can stand in row 1 and beat it in the face directly. But for the early part it's better to not use lightning formation and instead use the formation for status resist.000x000x0x00

Item 7: You'll know you're close to beating it when it starts to use a jutsu for draining life and chakra. Fortunately this Jutsu isn't what I'd call devastating. IIRC it does about 100 damage to life and 50 damage to chakra if you're in row 1. As long as you have at least one team member hitting it, it won't actually gain any life.

Item 8: Part of the reason I choose Sakura and Tenten is because they can weild the Toad Blade(+120). these are expensive. Make sure you find the coupon first or you'll have to pay the full 120K.

Item 9: Do not neglect speed. Make sure your team has the best boots you've got. Speed determines how often you get to attack. the more often you attack the better.

It took afew trys but i did it u reaally need strong and speedy charracters with high levels 2 make sure naruto is always there wen he has rasengan (my team was lee kiba naruto and sakura)then just go ballistc on him!!!!

Actually, if you somehow haven't beaten the Spirit beast yet, it's health (according to Prima strategy guides) is 7500. You'll also need a team at least to level 60 and a good bit of healing items for the fight.

shino is good to fight the spirit beastin my team he was the only one that survived thanks to his jutsu that steals health and chakrai dont remember the jutsu's nameevery time the beast attacked me the jutsu gave me the health the beast damagedmy shino was on level 66 it really helps

you see hes really hard cause he has the jutsu of both gensho and the beast so what you should do is you have to let sakura learn all heal jutsu lvl 4. and also you shoul get naruto, kankuro, sakura and temari its a good team cause they all know summoning jutsu. then whats good is that you have three fighters and 2 healers temari and sakura know healing get them up to lvl 60- 80 its good cause they do about 100 fr average hope this helps.

WOW most of you guys fail. I had ino, shikamaru, choji, and sakura, all at level 60, and i beat him, only havig to use wide healing(ino) ONCE. BTW, is it even possible to use sasuke before you beat the game? Don't you get him through a ninja info card? Which you can only use AFTER you beat the game?
